| RSI question
I applied to Research Science Institute (RSI) for this summer, and I got my results a few weeks back-- I am an "Alternate."
Honestly, I was pretty happy that I wasn't rejected outright, since acceptance is so rare.
I looked around and it seems only about 20 or 30 kids are selected as Alternates.
But, assuming I have decent stats otherwise, is there any merit in being an Alternate for RSI? Is it advisable to put this on my application, or does it seem like I'm stretching accolades?
(I've asked this on the Caltech forum, and I got differing opinions, by PM)
